Hugh Williams.

another ship sank in the

The Pill has been named
as one of the seven
wonders of the
modern world because
is it helped spur an
international sex revolution and helped
expand women’s role in the work place.

Many doctors will not
prescribe the Pill for
women who smoke cigarettes because it increases the harmful
effects of cigarettes.
Birth control pills
cannot be bought over-the-counter.

Emergency
contraception (the
morning-after pill, Plan
B, and Next Choice) is a
controversial from of
birth control. It contains high
concentrations of
levonorgestrel, which
can prevent pregnancy
if taken 72 hours after
unprotected sex. It prevents a woman’s
egg from being
released, it makes a
sperm’s travel more
difficult, and it helps
prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the
uterus. It is not an abortion pill.

One of the more
controversial parts of
“Obamacare” (the Affordable Care Act) is
the contraceptive
mandate, which
requires that most
private insurances
cover birth control without a copay or
deductible. Religious
organizations may be
exempt from covering
birth control for their employees.

Women may
incorrectly believe
their birth control pills
make them gain
weight. Research
suggests that weight gain be attributed to
teenagers who go on
the Pill and gain weight
merely because they
are growing up, but
think it’s due to the Pill. Many women also
go on the Pill when
they’re in a committed
relationship, and
research suggests that
coupled women tend to gain more weight.
However, women can
experience bloating or
stomach distention
when they go off or
switch birth control methods.

In the past, it was
thought that
prolonged use of birth
control pills would
interfere with a
woman’s ability to conceive, but that has
been shown to be false

Doctors previously
believed that women
who conceived
immediately after
stopping the pill had a
higher risk of miscarriage. These
concerns have largely been proven false.

Of the 3.2 million
teenage women who
use contraceptives,
53% rely on the pill,
16% rely on other
hormonal methods (including the implant,
injectable, patch, and
ring), and 3% rely on the IUD.

One in nine sexually
experienced women of
reproductive age has
used emergency
contraception as of
2010. The majority of these women had used
emergency
contraception only once (59%)

The myth that a
woman doesn’t need
to be on birth control
while she is
breastfeeding is
probably to blame for many unplanned
pregnancies. While
there is a dip in fertility
while a woman is
exclusively
breastfeeding, it is in no way fool proof.

Approximately 30% of
American women
have tried five or more
methods of contraception.
